Show WiFi adaptors?
When using the Snap Deploy stand alone utility, how do I get it to show my WiFi adaptors so that I can configure it to attach to my deployment server?

On a side note... if you only have a wifi devices, but they have a USB connection, a USB 3.0 to ethernet adapter is nice, fairly cheap solution too.

I like the ones wiht the extra USB ports for tablet devices so that you can add a keyboard/mouse and some drives to launch bootable media and locally attached backup space and/or image repository

Hi PaperEater,
However an ASD WinPE-based media does not support Standalone Deployment via GUI, it should be possible to perform deployment when booted directly with this type of media via command line. Here you will find the list of commands and usage examples.
Thank you,

I also have True Image 2016, but my internal WiFi adaptor isn't showing up either. Is it possible to image a laptop over WiFi with True Image 2016?

PaperEater,
Unfortunately, no it is not. Wifi is not natively supported in WinPE (Microsoft limitation as WinPE does no have the necessary background services). The default Linux media does not either. However, this does not appear to be just a limitation of Acronis, but is the same in all "home" Backup products I have used (most of which use WinPE for their offline recovery media).
If you have a physical NIC, that is the way to go. If not, then a USB to gigabit ethernet adapter is a fairly cheap and efficient solution. I have not been able to get wifi working in WinPE directly, but have found success using unofficial and non-approved tools (non-Microsfot approved such as WinPE SE - it goes against Microsoft licensing and I'm sure does not follow the licensing of other products it is capable of incorporating either ... even if you do go this route, getting Acronis embedded and licensed is another hurdle..., it is doable, but pretty in depth and again, not supported by Microsoft or Acronis).
For most people, using a NIC or USB to ethernt adapter is the best/easiest/fastest solution, although will cost you about $13 to get one. They come in handy for a number of scenarios though, and I'd recommend having one on hand anyway if you're not opposed to buying the hardware.
